2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: A yellow/orange odorless paste. Contact may cause severe irritation to skin and eyes. Fumes produced by a fire
are irritating and hazardous.
Can irritate or burn the skin and cause severe eye irritation or burns that may result in permanent injury if not promptly treated.
Gloves should be worn when handling to prevent contaminating hands with product.
Persons with a pacemaker should not go near soldering operations until they have consulted their doctor and obtained information from
the manufacturer of the device.
When this product is used in a soldering process, the most important hazards are heat, radiation, electric shock and soldering fumes.
Heat: Spatter and melting metal can cause burn injuries and start fires.
Radiation: Arc rays can severely damage eyes or skin.
Electricity: Electric shock can kill.
Fumes: Overexposure to soldering fumes may result in symptoms like metal fume fever, dizziness, nausea, dryness or irritation
of the nose, throat or eyes. Chronic overexposure to soldering fumes may affect pulmonary function. Prolonged
inhalation of nickel and chromium compounds above safe exposure limits can cause cancer. Overexposure to
manganese and manganese compounds above safe exposure limits can cause irreversible damage to the central
nervous system, including the brain, symptoms of which may include slurred speech, lethargy, tremor, muscular
weakness, psychological disturbances and spastic gait.
Zinc chloride vapors produce irritation to the throat and lungs.
Flame When used with combustible gas equipment (e.g., oxy-acetylene torch), read the use and safety information for that
Processing: equipment.
